Weight limits for bicycles need to be higher and more transparent, especially if the majority of people want to use them.

Stock post is suspension, and given that it’s a trike I’m not sure a suspension fork would do much. In any case, getting a solid piece custom made would likely be my best option. Thanks.

Old thread, but I'm loving this suspension post with my xpress. Rated for 264lbs, but that's underselling it. It has an extra spring you can add in for heavier riders that really ups the stiffness, but still has great give. The design is way more seriously engineered than Lectrics generic style spring post.

The 31.6/450mm long is what fits my bike with the lectric stock seatpost clamp.

It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.
